Hi Jerry, welcome to the club. I have a 53 manual I bought when I first got my 54 (http://dte.net/57imperial/54saga). I later found a 54 manual and will sell the 53 for the 50 bucks I gave for it. Email me privately if interested. I can also talk with you about some of your questions but many can/should be answered on the mailing list as others may be interested. Engine rebuilds are easy as many places sell hemi parts. Rebuilding the powerflight is a bigger challenge not from a parts basis but simply finding someone who will work on it. The list is a great resource for references. Rubber may be hard to find and I have NOT been able to find a replacement for the stiff 'hogshair' carpet. Mine is shot also and because mine is a low mileage original, I have not replaced it, instead, I put a full width rubber floormat over the front. The back is still presentable.
